Description by the author

You'll become acquainted with the heart of the city during this route. There is some traffic along this route, but you'll get to know the city. There is little (no) chance you will be seeing cars along this route. Solo-cyclist or in group? This remains a hard route. Don't forget to stop at South Pennines. Conveying the green message?
